The big showdown in Miami is just around the corner
Colombia and Portugal had very different paths.
Colombia has had a demanding path in the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, facing one of the toughest qualifiers on the planet.
The ‘Tricolor’ showed a solid start with important results, combining defensive order, intensity and good collective play.
This kept it in competitive positions for much of the process.
However, it has also experienced moments of pressure, with close games and ups and downs typical of a playoff where every point is worth gold.
Portugal, for its part, has been a protagonist in the UEFA qualifiers.
They tend to dominate thanks to their squad depth and high competitive level.
The Portuguese team has remained one of the continent’s favorites.
He stands out for his offensive capacity, control of the pace of the game and international experience.
With a solid structure, Portugal has achieved consistent results that project it strongly towards 2026.
